Triglyceride-rich lipoproteins and vascular function.
نویسنده
چکیده
The epidemic of obesity in the developed and developing world has resulted in a considerable increase in the number of patients with high plasma triglyceride concentrations. There has been considerable debate about the role of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TRLs) in atherosclerosis. These lipoproteins include chylomicrons, VLDL, IDL, and various remnant particles. Although elevated triglyceride levels are common in patients with atherosclerotic disease, establishing a clear link has been made difficult by a number of factors.

History of Discovery Triglyceride-Rich Lipoproteins and Plasma Lipid Transport
This memoir provides a history of the triglyceride-rich lipoproteins of blood plasma over the last half-century. As precursors of low-density lipoproteins and in their own right, triglyceride-rich lipoproteins are essential to the formation of atherosclerotic plaques and to consequent ischemic vascular disease. The author recounts research at the National Heart Institute during 1953 to 1956 and...
متن کاملPostprandial lipoprotein changes in patients taking antiretroviral therapy for HIV infection.
OBJECTIVE Dyslipidemia is common among patients receiving antiretroviral therapy for HIV infection. The purpose of this study was to determine whether postprandial lipemia contributes to the dyslipidemia observed in HIV-positive patients taking antiretroviral therapy. METHODS AND RESULTS A standardized fat load was administered to 65 subjects (group 1 35 HIV-positive subjects receiving protea...
متن کاملDietary oxysterols are incorporated in plasma triglyceride-rich lipoproteins, increase their susceptibility to oxidation and increase aortic cholesterol concentration of rabbits.
Early fatty streaks and advanced lesions are characterized by the deposition of cholesterol and cholesterol oxidation products (oxysterols). Oxysterols have been shown to be cytotoxic and pro-atherogenic compared to cholesterol and are found in cholesterol-rich processed foods. The consumption of dietary oxysterols may be significant in the onset and development of vascular disease. In order to...
متن کاملTriglycerides and heart disease: still a hypothesis?
The purpose of this article is to review the basic and clinical science relating plasma triglycerides and cardiovascular disease. Although many aspects of the basic physiology of triglyceride production, its plasma transport, and its tissue uptake have been known for several decades, the relationship of plasma triglyceride levels to vascular disease is uncertain. Are triglyceride-rich lipoprote...
متن کاملRegulation of lipoprotein lipase secretion in murine macrophages during foam cell formation in vitro. Effect of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins.
Triglyceride rich-lipoproteins induce triglyceride accumulation in macrophages, leading to foam cell formation. The correlation between cell triglyceride accumulation and lipoprotein lipase (LPL) secretion in murine macrophages and the role that LPL plays in the accumulation process were examined. LPL secretion is defined as the extracellular LPL activity that accumulates during a 4-hour incuba...
